Poll question: How long after the indictments are announced will there be a TerrAlert?
I'm predicting a TerrAlert, or some other diversion as the indictments are coming out....probably within a few hours. What do you all think?

2. It'll be a split screen, Fitz on one side, suspicious package on the other
I think they'll actually have it blow up and kill some people; otherwise it just won't be enough. Everybody is on to the terralert tactic at this point.

Toy and cookie mistaken for bomb parts at San Diego airport

ELLIOT SPAGAT

Associated Press

SAN DIEGO - A terminal was evacuated at San Diego International Airport Tuesday after luggage screeners mistook a child's toy and a cookie for bomb-making materials.

It was part of a jittery morning for Southern California air travel: airports in Orange County and Long Beach were also searched because of bomb threats, both of which were phoned in around 3 a.m. No explosives were found.

Federal agents were investigating whether the calls, received seven minutes apart, were related, FBI spokeswoman Cathy Viray said.

8. It must have been one of those Play dough machines
It must have been one of those Play dough machines and they mistakenly thought the 'dough' was c4.

6. I don't want to sound like the tinfoil crowd
I don't want to sound like the tinfoil crowd, but does anyone know if they ever let scrub-ya near the 'football'? I'd hate to have him think he was ordering pizza and start WWIII.

Are we going to have a Nixonian situation where leading thugs go to this whitehouse and say it's time to call it quits?

The thought of Cheney and Rove resigning and scrub-ya actually running the country is too scary to even contemplate.

7. They may go beyond alert this time
and do the real thing. According to Scott Ritter, it wouldn't suprise him if they staged an attack. Get ready NY, LA, and Atlanta.

13. You can't put anything past these bastards...They could EASILY
set off a small "dirty bomb" or some shit.

The alerts aren't working. Cried wolf too many times.

I think they have to raise the stakes...especially in their current situation.

9. The most dangerous time? While the indictments are sealed...
The thought of indictments sealed for more than a day is not a happy one. :scared:

10. Simultaneously! Announcement of dead birds
Edited on Wed Oct-26-05 10:43 AM by Catrina
falling from the sky in NYC. Split screen with Fitzgerald silently mouthing something, while breathless expert terrorizes population on screen two. 'The city will be quarantined until autopsies are performed or until further notice'
